A Collection of Chinese opera derivative work of The Divine Damsel of Devestation

There have been many exquisite re-creation of The Divine Damsel of Devestation in bilibili, including national singer trying to sing it in different styles and different opera. I'll show you some of those very beautiful work with some introduction (all by professional singer/player). I'll updated it if I found more. If there're other well-made videos that I missed, please share them!

Opera (In no particular order):

1. Cantonese Opera

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1RF411v7Hp?share_source=copy_web

Sung by Chinese national first-class actress, Zeng Xiaomin. The lyrics was rewritten to fit Cantonese in.

This has also been posted on youtube: https://youtu.be/72sohlHs7yU

2. Huai Opera

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1ra41127LP?share_source=copy_web

By Chinese national first-class actress, Cheng Deng.

Huai Opera, also known as Jianghua Opera and Huai Xi, is an ancient local opera that originated in Huaiโ€™an, Jiangsu Province and Lixia River area in Yancheng.

The language of the Huai Opera is based on the dialects of todayโ€™s Jianghuai Mandarin, as well as the local dialects of Huaiโ€™an and Yanfu. As a stage language, it has the advantages of stable tone, four distinct sounds, five tones, charm and pleasant music and so on.

(Ref: http://www.jiangsutravel.us/huai-opera)

3. Sichuan Opera

By Chinese national first-class actor, Wang yuren

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1wq4y1C7q1?share_source=copy_web

By Chinese national first-class actress, Wang yumei

The famous "face-changing" performance is from Sichuan Opera!

Sichuan Opera features vivid, humorous narration, singing, and acrobatics. It also boasts a system of stylized movements and its acting is both exquisite and lively. Sichuan Opera performances are always full of wit, humor, lively dialogues, and pronounced local flavors. To portray special characters, the opera incorporates a series of stunts, including the famous "face-changing." In Chinese opera, facial makeup is usually painted, but in Sichuan Opera, the performer can change his or her fa

Worst parents in danmei?

I've noticed that I tend to hate bad parents the most among the danmei villains - anyone who feel the same? Like I tend to be a lot more forgiving towards the evil characters who got completely traumatized in childhood (although sad childhood is a clichรฉ, sometimes it just works), but evil dad or mom who are evil just because of greed/lust/power hungry/petty jealousy/other reasons that do not stem from them having a sh*tty life themselves - nope, can't forgive, just want them to burn in hell.

And is it just me or are there a lot of evil parents in danmei?

E.g. in MDZS I can sort of understand (and almost forgive) >!Jin Guangyao!<, but >! Jin Guangshan!<? No way.

Fanservice Paradox - >!domestic abuse and trying to maim and kidnap your own son!< - that is some serious scum behavior from one of the worst>! dads in a modern setting!<.

Additional Inheritance - ML might psycho, but the >!dad!< is the absolute worst I've encountered in a modern setting (and that's saying a lot), and I totally get why >!Luo Yi dedicates his life to bring him down!<.

Wu Chang Jie - only around a third into the story and damn, I can kind of relate to >!Zong Ziheng's mom and Zixiao's parents!< because of how their lives where ruined early on, but I really hate >!Zong Minghe !<so much! Even though a lot of the characters end up doing despicable things (including the ML later on), this character has the worst motivation and is the most coldhearted and petty one (so you're mad because >!you got cheated on by the woman you literally stole from her fiancรฉe and forced into your harem? poor you!!<). I really look forward to seeing >!him!< die.

Honorable mention: 2Ha - so many terrible >!fathers/farther figures!<. First prize goes to >!Shi Mei's dad!< though.>! Eating your wife/mother of your child!<- biggest WTF among a whole lot of 2Ha WTFs.

Who do you think is the worst mom or dad in danmei? Remember to hide spoilers for those who haven't read yet.

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Just because it's a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

The use of the title Huangdi (emperor) in the Sinosphere and illegitimacy of Manchukuo, Puyi

People are supposed to recognize only person holding the title Huangdi (emperor) in East Asia. You cannot recognize two people holding that title.

Multiple people can hold the titles of Wang (King) or other titles like Gong (Duke), Hou (marquis), Bo (Count or earl) Zi (viscount) Nan (baron) but two people either the title of Huangdi or Tianzi (Son of Heaven) do not recognize each other.

Vietnamese monarchs used the title king when corresponding with China and did not use the title Huangdi when talking to China and only used the Huangdi title internally to their own subjects and other Southeast Asians.

Koreans did not use the title Huangdi at all until 1897 when relations with China broke off after the first Sino-Japanese war. They used the title King and recognized only the emperor in China as the Huangdi and used his reign name for calendar dates. Koreans even rejected Japanese diplomatic delegations for daring to use the title Huang or Tiandi since they only recognized one in China. Dali and Western Xia both used the title king in external communications and Huangdi only to their subjects.

In China when two dynasties each claim the title Huangdi they do not recognize each other. One of them had to be forced to defer to the other and not use their title in diplomatic communications. Monarchs of kingdoms like Wuyue recognize another dynasty like Later Zhou holding the title Huangdi and use their reign name.

Dynasties in China addressed the Japanese monarch and shogun as "kings of Japan" and never recognized the Japanese monarchs claimed title of Tianhuang (Tennล).

A huangdi only performs sacrifices to heaven and his own ancestors, not to the ancestors and deities unrecognized outside of Japan.

The Manchukuo fake puppet state had a Huangdi (Kangde) and Tennล of Japan recognize each other with their titles with both of them claiming to be an "empire" (Di guo) and with worship of the ancestors of the Japanese monarch and amatersasu and state shinto as part of the ceremonies carried out in Manchukuo and a replica of Yasukuni shrine built.

Every dynasty in China had classical Chinese as the de facto official state language and non-Han dynasties would have just their own language as the second official language and would never make some random foreign language the language of the state. Japanese was an official language in Manchukuo.

The Japanese fake state of Manchukuo was majority Han. The majority of Manchus were moved to Beijing in 1644 and that i
